SKYFALL

Splatter Splatter 

The rain comes down in torrents 

Celine's fears washed away

All my hopes of joy crushed again. Splatter Splatter 

The sky reminds me of a DC movie

The darkness within, the bleakness without.

Without me, you would still be a heathen;

I still don't know what you're seeking. Atop your cold bed, your rumpled sheets

I enter your room

Recline on your wall

Fold my arms. And for seconds- an eternity,

Your sky doesn't seem to be receding very soon. Even when your storm is over,

Heaven may still remain a hidden treasure for you.

The rainbow I now see-faint,

Gives me no assurance 

That you wouldn't cry anymore.
